Peru grows serious coffee at serious altitude: tiny family farms — often one or two hectares — strung along the Andes in Cajamarca, Amazonas and San Martín in the north and Cusco in the south. Caturra, Typica and Bourbon dominate, almost all of it washed, and the classic cup is gentle and deeply sweet: caramel, orange, apricot, soft florals. For decades that quality vanished into blends; Cup of Excellence auctions and a wave of quality-first exporters are finally putting names and prices on it.
